FWIW: Threads post from someone who had a diagnosis like Biden's [View all]

“President Biden's cancer diagnosis sounds exactly like the diagnosis I had this last November. Gleason score of 9 and metastasis to the bone, discovered after urinary problems.
After 6 chemotherapy treatments, 3 weeks apart, my cancer is now under control.
Mr. Biden has a good chance of living with this for a long time with monitoring and occasional treatment.“
